Bermuda may not see 100F on the thermometer but summer humidity can push the “feels like” temperature into the nineties and sometimes above 100 degrees.
This makes heat exhaustion and heat stroke more likely, even when the temperature displayed on the thermometer does not appear extreme.
Anyone working or exercising outdoorsOutdoor workers, gardeners, athletes and anyone performing strenuous activity generate additional body heat.
There are still practical ways to reduce heat exposure.
Warning signs may include a very high body temperature, hot skin, confusion, slurred speech, unusual behaviour, collapse, loss of consciousness or seizures.
